In the kitchen, Gong Ou has already taken the lead in making two dishes before Gong Yu.
The speed is fast.
As for the taste... I haven’t tasted it yet.
Shi Xiaonian couldn't get involved at all, and she had agreed to control the cooking time, but Gong Ou could always find all kinds of reasons that sounded normal but were actually unreasonable to refute her.
No matter how anxious Shi Xiaonian is, it won't help. She can only watch Gong Ou perform on his own.
"Let me have a taste."
Shi Xiaonian said anxiously, it's fine if it's lighter, as long as it doesn't taste too strong.
"Wait until I serve it out." Gong Ou glanced at her with dissatisfaction, "You are so eager to taste my cooking. Don't worry, I will make it for you as much as you want, and no one will compete with you."
“…”
She was anxious for Luo Qi, really, really anxious.
Shi Xiaonian stood next to Gong Ou, frowning the whole time as he used chopsticks to pick up the dishes one by one, "Why are you using chopsticks to serve the dishes?"
"Plate it."
"Stir-fried meat with celery also needs to be served on a plate?" Shi Xiaonian was surprised.
"How can you eat the mess?" Gong Ou said matter-of-factly, while picking up the vegetables, "Xiao Nian, you draw a few pictures for me, I want to carve them."
"Are you still carving flowers?" Shi Xiaonian almost jumped up.
"That's right, or don't do it, if you want to be my Gong Ou, you must be the most perfect!" Gong Ou is so conceited.
"But… "
"No buts."
"There are too many dishes, how about I help out." It's best to let her finish them all, so that the birthday meal will be smooth.
Gong Ou didn't listen to her, and continued to use his plating skills on a plate of fried pork with celery, arranging the shredded meat into the word "longevity", and raised his thin lips with a satisfied arc.
Shi Xiaonian still wanted to speak, but Gong Ou stared at the word "longevity" on the plate for a while, and said casually, "This is my first time cooking for my mother. It's really boring. But you used to give me weird gifts. Mother’s gifts hit her heart every time, so I’d better listen to you.”
The arrogant tone made Shi Xiaonian startled.
In fact, Gong Ou must be very satisfied with her proposal. Nowadays, Luo Qi can get whatever he wants. No gift is more satisfying than one made by his son.
It's just that Gong Yu and Gong Ou, two grown men, would never think so carefully and would just say to give a bottle of red wine.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou who was carefully arranging the dishes, and swallowed back the words that came to her lips.
For Luo Qi, thoughts are worth everything.
Forget it, don’t stop it, let’s leave it like this, she will always keep an eye on Gong Ou, as long as they don’t blow their entire boat into the sea.
When Xiaonian was helping Gong Ou study the recipe, he arranged all the necessary seasoning jars himself, when suddenly he heard a scream.
"ah-"
Shi Xiaonian quickly turned around and saw Gong Yu in the corner throwing down the burning pot and running away, throwing away all his elegant and mature temperament. He also slammed Luo Lie, who was watching not far away, into the wall. .
Extremely embarrassed.
The thrown pot was crooked, and the oil rolled to the edge and dripped down, turning into a thick flame spitting out tongues of fire.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian covered her face speechlessly. Could this outstanding cooking skill be passed down from the Gong family? Then won’t she be able to teach her three children to cook in the future
"Fight the fire, Feng De!"
Gong Yu scolded, reaching out and patting his hair to prevent it from getting messy.
"Yes, young master."
Feng De nodded, calmly picked up a plate of vegetables to be cooked and walked over.
At this time, just put the vegetables into the pot and the fire will be reduced. It is very simple.
Before others arrived, a figure rushed in front of him.
The next second, the fire extinguisher made a harsh sound, and the entire pot was suddenly swallowed up by white gas.
Gong Ou stood in front of him, his back extremely tall.
"Cough, cough..."
Half of the kitchen was covered in smoke, and everyone had to step back.
Gong Ou strode out with a fire extinguisher, looking handsome. He reached out to pat his sleeves and turned to look at Feng De disdainfully, "Why do you want to put out a fire and get a plate of vegetables? Are you planning to burn all our people?" Into the sea?"
“…”
“…”
Feng Demo.
When Xiao Xiao thought about it, she thought, "My adoptive father is..."
Common sense.
Good thing now, the entire kitchen needs to be renovated before it can be used.
Feng De held down Shi Xiaonian, who was fighting an injustice, lowered his head and said respectfully, "I was negligent. Fortunately, the young master acted quickly. I will remember it in the future."
Shi Xiaonian looked at Yu Zhong's adoptive father and sighed helplessly.
"This kitchen can't be used now, go and replace it." Gong Ou said coldly, "It must be kept secret, especially from the mother's side."
"Yes, Master."
On the other side, Luo Lie felt the pain in his head and complained in his heart. Gong Yu straightened his clothes, coughed, and said with a serious face, "Should we re-discuss the recipe, for example, reduce a few dishes so that mother can eat alone?" Not finished.”
Cooking can catch fire. The profession of chef is really dangerous.
"no!"
Gong Ou refused.
He will never just be excellent if he can do something perfect.
Shi Xiaonian and Feng De looked at each other, and at the same time they saw the three words "be strong" in each other's eyes...
…
After changing kitchens three times, Gong Ou and Gong Yu's cooking skills have improved to a certain extent. At least they can no longer catch fire or fry the pan.
As long as Gong Ou goes to the kitchen, Shi Xiaonian can't help but feel trembling.
In such a mood, Luo Qi's birthday finally came.
The banquet was arranged in the central hall of the cruise ship. Several long rows of guest tables were arranged neatly. The tablecloths were spotless and the tableware was polished to a shine, reflecting the bright flowers beside them.
The servants were busy setting up the stage for performances. The long curtains hung down and were tied into soft knots. The entire stage was solemn yet beautiful.
The performer's hand gently pulled the strings, and a piece of birthday music resounded throughout the cruise ship, and the sea water outside followed suit.
Under the service of the servant, Luo Qi put on a long aqua skirt with a tail. She had graceful curves, her long hair was slightly pulled up, and her red lips and smile were full of charm.
High heels made a soft sound on the floor.
Luo Qi stood in front of the stage. The servant on the side pressed the remote control, and an oil painting was displayed on the stage in the form of holographic projection.
The painting brings all of her favorite gardens onto the stage, and the spatial levels are wonderfully processed, making people feel like they are in the center of the painting, adding a lot of texture to the already gorgeous stage.
"This is Xiao Nian's painting, it's still so delicate."
Luo Qi watched with a smile.
"Yes, I heard that because it needs to be holographically processed, it is not just one painting. In order to highlight the real and delicate sense of space, the young lady painted an entire room."
"I heard that the young lady has been painting secretly since she was healthy enough."
The two maids stood behind Luo Qi and talked to each other.
The Gong family doesn't like their servants to be so talkative. If something can reach her ears, someone must have given it to them.
"Oh? Did you hear what Gong Ou said?" Luo Qi asked lightly.
Only Gong Ou would do this. When Shi Xiaonian scored ten points, he wanted to praise her to ten thousand points.
The two maids laughed awkwardly.
"It's really beautiful."
Luo Qi admired it. In fact, she didn't need Gong Ou to say so, she also knew Shi Xiaonian's intentions towards her.
Luo Qi lifted up her skirt and walked towards the stage step by step. She sat down on the seat covered with red roses and stepped on the holographic image, as if she had returned to the garden at home.
There was a bouquet of moonlight flowers at her feet. Luo Qi lowered her body and touched it lightly with her fingertips.
With this touch, the closed flower suddenly opened, layer by layer, with golden light effects blooming at her fingertips.
There is a lingering floral fragrance.
Let people live in the oil painting.
“…”
Luo Qi was startled. Shi Xiaonian was really too diligent. It was no exaggeration to paint a whole room like this. How could she do such a thing with her injured body
"lady."
A voice came.
Luo Qi raised her head and saw Feng De coming over with a group of servants, standing neatly under the stage, bowing his head towards her, "Feng De leads the palace family to wish the madam a happy birthday, and wishes the madam eternal youth and happiness." The years are graceful.”
The servants congratulated in unison, suppressing the sound of the music being played.
This is the usual process for birthdays in previous years.
It's just that in the past, families with various contacts would come. This year, her birthday was on the sea, with only people from the Gong family surrounding her. The pomp and circumstance was much less, but she didn't have the slightest regret.
It was time to celebrate her birthday with this group of people who had never left her.
Luo Qi smiled and slowly raised his hand, "If you are interested, I will distribute the gifts to everyone. The Gong family is grateful for your help these years. I, Luo Qi, would like to thank you all."
"Thank you ma'am."
Everyone bowed down again.
The simple words have surprised everyone. The Gong family is a noble. They have never heard such words before. Madam actually said that their work is to help the Gong family.
very nice.
Feng De stepped forward and followed Luo Qi's instructions to distribute the exquisite gift boxes that had been prepared to everyone.
After handing out the gifts, everyone separated on both sides, leaving a wide path open.
Luo Qi looked forward and laughed. She saw Gong Yao and Gong Kui in formal clothes walking towards her. The two of them were pushing a small stroller. Little Pumpkin was sitting inside with his big eyes blinking, looking to the left. Look, look to the right, and immediately smile happily when seeing Luo Qi.
"Are you dressed so grandly today?"
Luo Qi whispered, going to come down and hold the child.
"Grandma, please don't move. We want to wish you a happy birthday!" Gong Kui pulled Gong Yao and stood under the stage. She held her two little hands in front of her and opened her mouth to speak, but the words got stuck.
Hey, what's the birthday message? She carried it for a long time.
Luo Qi looked at Gong Kui racking her brains to think back and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, but he didn't let her go to see when she would remember.
Gong Kui turned to look at Gong Yao for help. Gong Yao also raised his hands and said seriously, "Gong Yao brings his younger brother Gong Bei and his younger sister Gong Kui to wish grandma good luck every year and good luck every year... Cizhu Fenghe, Xinghe Huibaowu... Xuange Changchun, Meishouyantang... "
Gong Yao simply recited Gong Kui's long birthday message and read it clearly.
"That's right! I wish grandma a bright future!" (To be continued)
